Srinagar, Mar 6: Expressing concern over reports that a MBBS student from the Kashmir valley has been kidnapped by Maoists in Odisha, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti requested for swift investigation and action by the state government.
However, police said that the Kashmiri student, missing in Odisha for the past about one month, has not been abducted by Maoists.
Meanwhile, the mother of the missing student has appealed to him to return home. 
Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, Ms Mehbooba said, “Concerning reports coming in about a Kashmiri student, Suhail Aijaz of Kupwara being kidnapped in Odisha. I request the authorities to investigate & take swift action. @CMO_Odisha @Naveen_Odisha”. 
A police spokesman reacting to reports on social media said here that there is no fact that Kashmiri student Suhail Aijaz Kataria who went missing from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bhubaneswar since February 9 has been abducted. 
He said there is no substantial corroborative evidence that Suhail, a resident of Kupwara in north Kashmir has been abducted.
The news is reportedly based on only a handwritten poster pasted on the wall of Baramunda Bus Stand Bhubaneswar. 
He said Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kupwara is in continuous contact with the concerned Police authorities and on Monday he spoke to Deputy Commissioner Police (DCP) Bhubaneswar Mr Satiabrata about the veracity of the contents of the poster. 
The DCP Bhubaneswar has informed that the poster seems to be pasted by some unscrupulous elements being hand written just to deflect the investigation process. He also said that the DGP Odisha had convened a meeting with senior officers to review the progress of the case. DCP further informed that the search of the missing boy is going-on vigorously and they are investigating the matter from all angles, besides they have also sensitised other adjoining states about the missing of the boy.
SSP Kupwara also said that he has spoken to the father of the missing boy stationed at Bhubaneswar who told him that the poster is fake and Bhubaneswar police is working very hard to ascertain the whereabouts of his son. He further told that he has full confidence on working of Bhubaneswar police. UNI
